Chapter 259: Origins of the Four

"I am not sure about the origin of the demons but the other four's origin is still fresh in my head." Elder Danaya stated.

The Asmodian who is the ancestor of the faekin is non-other than the first fruit born of the first tree of life which is why the dryads, leshies, or faeries love to tend nature. It is said that the asmodian ancestor of the faekin has the skin as green as leaves with wings insectoid in nature that is very dazzling.

She was the fairest and the most mystical of the asmodians as she can wield nature as a part of herself as the incarnation of nature. She was called the green mother because she tended all the living organisms that the Goddess of Life birthed.

She makes the trees bows to her in reverence as she passes them by and even the wind greets her cheek to kiss it. She is also one of the reasons why the fae are said to be mischievous and love to play pranks. She is also the reason why the fae are called the guardians or caretakers of nature as she tends to nature like her children.

"So do you know what she looked like specifically? You only mentioned skin and wings." Adrian asked as he wanted to know if he ever time travelled to get a glimpse of the ancestors.

"I think that you are thinking of something destructive again. No, I do not know her exact features as the ancestors died before I was born." Elder Danaya stated as she gently flicked Adrian's forehead.

"Sorry. What about the next then? How about the Jotunn? I always wondered why those giants are not like the other giants." Adrian asked as Elder Danaya continued to brush the former's hair.

Jotunns are of a different variety of asmodians as the ancestor of them is made using a special stone that encompasses all elements. It is said that he is carved from this very rock that measured five meters and he is not called a giant but a titan. Since he is made of a stone that had all elements, the asmodian ancestor of the Jotunn is immune to all elements.

He is so mighty that he became proud of his body since the elements could do him no damage. He was basically the ideal vanguard as he is the first to dive head first into battle with the dark gods. He was not only formidable but can also use the elements to his advantage. He is able to change the terrain just by using his elemental mastery.

"So even with his complete elemental nullification, he lost his life to the dark gods because they can corrupt things. So much for being elementally indestructible." Adrian stated.

"Even you would have to agree that being invulnerable to elemental attacks will make you proud of your defense." Elder Danaya stated and flicked Adrian's forehead again.

"Ouch! Next story then." Adrian reacted.

The Asmodian ancestor of the Selvaggian are different from the other four as they were was conceived using the concepts of the wilderness. The concept of wild and free as they are born twins. One of the same yet different at the same time.

The wild one is embodied by the male twin while the concept of freedom is embodied by the female twin. It is said that they are strong individually but explosive when together as they have this synergy that makes them have the force of a star.

It is said that they can change forms depending on the terrain. They can grow feathers and wings whenever they wanted to take the skies. They grow fish tails and scales whenever they traverse the seas. They are the definition of changing or evolving oneself in order to adapt to the situation as the wilderness is ever changing.

"So they are twins that can change their forms depending on the occasion. They also could boost each other in order to win battles." Adrian clarified.

"You are right, little one. Although their connection is much more is much more beautiful and honest as they have twin souls." Elder Danaya stated.

"I am much more curious about the next one. Since it involves the Erebians, the two species are rather in a fight with each other to see which is more superior. If you ask me, it is very foolish to see who is better because they obviously have different strengths." Adrian iterated because he hated people who compare themselves with other people.

"You are very mature for your age, little one. Their fight for hierarchy is pointless but we are outsiders so we do not know what really happened." Elder Danaya stated.

"Ok then but I still think their fight is pointless." Adrian rebutted as Elder Danaya stroked his hair again to calm him down. Adrian has to admit that it feels soothing for some reason.

The Asmodian ancestor of the Erebians is made using a peculiar stone that reacts with moonlight. She was like the moonlight. She was as beautiful as she was dangerous. She was the like the moon as she had different faces.

It is said that her abilities change depending on her mood or the state of the moon. She had a light side and a dark side just like a moon. Her light side is said to bring gentleness, warmth and love as she acted as the second sun. Her dark side however is lethal, cold and ruthless which made her the most dangerous killer for dark gods.

"I am actually becoming scared on how my actual sister will become if she ever attains that." Adrian muttered which did not escape Elder Danaya's hearing.

"So you have a sister that is an Erebian? You do not have to worry as it has been a millennia since the birth of someone like the Asmodian ancestor of the Erebians." Elder Danaya stated as she frowned a little.

"You mean there have been other who have attained the abilities of the ancestors?" Adrian asked as he stood up from his laid down position.

"There have been ones who have been born like the ancestors but they always suffer a miserable fate." Elder Danaya stated as there is visible sadness on her face.

"By miserable fate, do you mean someone is targeting them from the shadows and killing them?" Adrian asked. By Elder Danaya's reaction, it seems that he hit the nail right on the head.

"My sister is just like you. Born with hair like the ancestors. The color of the asmodians which is white. Even if you do not tell me, I can feel the Asmodian blood in you as it is very strong. And that is why I am telling you that you should be more careful. You should not easily trust anyone even the gods." Elder Danaya stated in a firm tone while gripping Adrian's hand.

"Why do you mean by…" Adrian stated but Elder Danaya stopped Adrian from finishing his sentence.

"It is better if you do not trust them as much. Also be wary of your words as you do not know who is listening to our conversation." Elder Danaya stated in a soft voice almost a whisper.

"Since I cannot ask you about the last sentence then do you have any inkling on how we the Daemos ancestor came to be?" Adrian asked.

"I do not know the explicit details and even Ascalor does not tell me about it. I only know hearsay or theories about it from the elders of old." Elder Danaya said with a lost look.

"Any information will do to be honest." Adrian stated and Elder Danaya sighed as she decided to tell Adrian about it.

"All I know is that the ancestor of the Daemos is different because beings that can control time and space should not exist if we go by the concept of balance in the universe. I only managed to hear this from a deranged elder back then as she kept spewing nonsense when I mentioned the Daemos to her." Elder Danaya stated.

"What did the deranged elder say?" Adrian asked.

"She only said one word and kept repeating it." Elder Danaya paused for suspense.

"Well? Any time of the day now." Adrian said in an impatient tone.

"Chaos. She only kept repeating the word Chaos. She said it over and over until she passed out from not breathing properly." Elder Danaya stated which made Adrian clueless.

"Anyways, that is enough for today but I am really sorry that I cannot help you fix the tree of life but there could be a solution." Elder Danaya stated.

"What kind of solution?" Adrian asked.

"You chop the tree before it dies and then immediately perform the Blessing of Earth Renewal which that dryad should know. I will give you a seed that can grow to a tree of life as an apology since I cannot create an antidote." Elder Danaya stated as she gave Adrian a box containing a seed with a golden shine.

"Chaos? Why does it sound familiar?" Adrian asked himself but then he remembered the item he got from this weird of woman that made him what he is now.

"The Amulet of Chaos. The item that transported me to the Hall of Armageddon but it might just be a coincidence." Adrian thought as he ripped the teleportation scroll in order to return to the Paradox Planes.
